Question 1

I see pictures of platforms with wood mounts that have Everlast in black and others that have a yellow label like shown in this listing.  What gives?

Accepted Answer

Don't know if you got my response, was trying to do it from my cell phone.The unit they sent me was suppose to have a 1 /12" thick platform, but was only 1".  Amazon resent it, but unit was still the same.  Talked to people at everlast, and they said the model I recieved was the only one they manufacture.  The wood cross slats are smaller than what is pictured. actual size is 3/4" x 1 1/2".  Logo is black only, no yellow like picture.If you mount the unit, you will need to add 1/2" filler behind the cross slats.  If not, you won't be able to turn the adjustment knobs, as they will interfere with the wall.  The unit does come with a decent swivel.  Hope this is helpful.Jeff

Question 2

Whats the size for the assembly hardware? 
My seller did not include any assembly hardware, the quick release pin, or the lock knobs.  If anyone can give me an approximate size for the hex bolts, bolts, washers and nuts as well as the thread size for the lock knobs that would be great.

Accepted Answer

Here are the sizes for the hardware, the length doesn't really matter for most of it. The bolt thread for the lock knobs are 3/8x16 course. The knobs aren't necessary, just use a wrench. The spring loaded thing is just to hold the platform in place until the lock bolts can be tightened so anything that can be stuck through the holes to hold it will work. The platform to the brackets bolts are 5/16 in in dia., again the length doesn't matter, they just need to be long enough to get nuts and a lock washer on the bracket side. Be sure and get washers to go under the heads of the bolts that go through the platform to spread the load and keep them from pulling through, they need to be less than 5/8 inch in diameter with the appropriate size for the hole for the bolt to fit in the recess in the platform. I suggest taking the bag bracket to the hardware store to help you find some flat head counter sink bolts that are long enough to go through the bracket and the platform and leave enough for nuts, plain washers and lock washers. If you got the wooden cross pieces I suspect the blind nuts already installed are 5/16 fine thread, I have no way of checking that, I suggest taking one of the cross pieces with you to the store. This in the one place that length does matter, the bolt can't protrude past the blind nut unless you're not worried about the wall behind it. Don't forget the lag bolts to mount the whole thing to the wall.

Question 3

Going to mount on wall in apartment. what will absorb the sound/vibration

Accepted Answer

All the recommendations here are spot on. My speed bag is mounted to concrete wall in my basement and is very loud. 
In an apartment with shared walls your neighbors will hate you. Setiously.
